Overview

flarum/core is a simple discussion platform for your website.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. An admin account which has already been compromised by an attacker may use a vulnerability in the LESS parser which can be exploited to read sensitive files on the server through the use of path traversal techniques. An attacker can achieve this by providing an absolute path to a sensitive file in the custom LESS setting, which the LESS parser will then read.
